1. قَد شَمَّرَت أَطنابَها الظَلماءُ

    وَجَرَّرَت أَذيالَها الأَضواءُ

    Darkness has gathered up its tent ropes,

    And the lights have trailed their hems.

  2. وَالتَحَفَت بِخَزِّها السَماءُ

    وَاِهتَزَّ في ديباجِهِ الفَضاءُ

    And the sky has wrapped itself in its silk,

    And the expanse has swayed in its brocade.

  3. فَاِنعَم فَقَد أَنعَمَتِ الأَنداءُ

    بِلُؤلُؤِ لِحَبِّهِ صَفاءُ

    So take delight, for the dews have bestowed

    Pearls whose beads are clear.

  4. فَيَومُنا فيهِ الَّذي نَشاءُ

    غَيمٌ وَزَهرٌ وَنَدىً وَماءُ

    So our day holds what we desire:

    Clouds, blossoms, dew, and water.
